The following paid political announcement is just one old guys opinion (Who happens to have done mattress 3 times) The King, Minstral & Wizard are written, both in prose and lyric, as dirty old men. (old being relative).  The wizard and the queen have a "thing".. Now as we tone this down a bit in high school, if you are really doing it for a ct and you want the most from the show, do it as written...  Our CT did it a few years back, the director had all but promised one of her protegies the part of Fred.  When a new face came in and blew her away, the director tried to "mend fences" by making the first girl the minstral...  For those who know the show, or are paying attention, it really didn't play well...  Again, just my opinion...  My name is MartyW and I approved this message.
